Job Description - Project Manager - Space Systems

Location: Cambridgeshire | Type: Permanent | Salary: Competitive

We are seeking experienced Project Managers to lead and deliver complex, high-impact engineering projects within the space sector. Working across satellite systems, embedded electronics, communications payloads and mission-critical software, you'll play a key role in turning innovative ideas into qualified, operational solutions.
This is a highly collaborative and client-facing position, ideal for someone who thrives in technically demanding environments and is confident engaging across engineering disciplines and senior stakeholders alike.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Lead multidisciplinary development projects for space applications, spanning software, electronics, RF and systems engineering.

  • Deliver projects on time and within budget, effectively managing schedules, risk, change and resources.

  • Build strong internal and client relationships, maintaining clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Collaborate with technical leads and sales teams to shape opportunities and proposals that are both commercially and technically robust.

  • Apply structured project management approaches such as Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and Microsoft Project, tailored to space-qualified environments.

  • Maintain governance and transparent reporting across all phases of delivery.

  • Contribute to ongoing improvement of project delivery processes to meet the specific challenges of space-sector programmes.
About You:

  • Proven experience delivering complex technical projects within the space sector - including satellite systems, space-grade electronics or embedded software.

  • Strong technical foundation, ideally with a degree in aerospace, electronics, systems or software engineering (or equivalent experience).

  • Familiarity with space-specific standards and constraints, such as environmental testing, radiation tolerance, reliability analysis and system validation.

  • Skilled in people and stakeholder management, with the emotional intelligence to guide and motivate high-performing teams.

  • Confident communicator, able to engage effectively with engineers, clients and executives.

  • Well-versed in structured project delivery methodologies and able to adapt them to high-assurance environments.

  • Detail-oriented, driven and calm under pressure, with a commitment to successful project outcomes.
Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a growing company delivering real impact in the space domain.

  • Shape next-generation space technologies from concept to deployment.

  • Enjoy a collaborative culture with a focus on quality, innovation and continuous development.

  • Engage directly with cutting-edge clients and projects.
